Strange Overwelming Feeling

[Sothpaw]

i get this weird sensation sometimes.  like maybe once every two months
i can be enywhere when it happens. 
i'm not sure what triggers this sensation.
i can dwell on it to enhance the sensation or i can turn my mind to other things and it seems to go away faster but it can be kinda powerful...
it feels as if my hands are gripping huge poles and my arms are wrapped around a huge column or tree and i'm squeezing for all i'm worth.  also it seems as if i'm being bombarded by people yelling at me (sort of)
i haven't figured out yet if i like the sensation.  i have no idea if it's chemical or physical or if it could be potentially harmful.
it may stem from the nightmares i had as a child where a huge red carpet was rolling over me, not sure.
it seems to attack my sences of feeling and hearing,  if i close my eyes i can see the columns/ trees, and large faces yelling.

is this even a Psychological matter or something else entirely?
have you ever heard of something like this?

What comes to mind:
     Holding on to something, embracing something sturdy or steady may have to do with holding on to a stable structure, it might be out of denial or because it makes one feel safe.

     What about the faces? are they hostile or friendly? Anyone in particular? How big are they or how close to you?  Are they staring at you? Are they bearing their teeth, even through laughing? How do you feel about them? [uncomfortable i guess]

The red carpet thing feels like the concept of authority going over you, or being overwhelmed by an event or something.

Is there anything going on in your life right now involving authority, change or challenge of beliefs or ideas, social changes, moving somewhere, change in lifestyle, idk...

PS: Jus throwing ideas around

Throwing ideas around is part of pinpointing a precise idea so keep it coming.

the faces are huge and yes there are teeth bared but not exactly anyone in particular.
the carpet doesn't roll over me during those sensations but it's a similar swamping feeling. the giant red carpet rolling over me is a nightmare that i haven't had in a couple years but it plagued me as a child.  i am claustrophobic.

i feel like i'm holding huge poles in my hands and arms and my head sinks with a weight as the faces loom and yell like giant planets crushing me.

i get it once every couple months for my entire life so there isn't anything particularly different about my lifestyle.
my beliefs have been chalanged my entire life soooo... nothing new there.
